Brown Brogues – Soup Kitchen 3rd March

 
And here it is. The first picture from inside our new studios. I've just come back from a meeting with the contractors and thought I'd share this with you guys. That there *points at photo* is a window between the studios constructed especially for us to provide good sound quality. Pretty fancy. Now obviously there's still work for the contractors to do. But I'm told that carpet is going in tomorrow and then there's a few other bits to finish off such as putting glass in that fancy window. But you can be sure I'll post here as soon as we get the keys.

As everyone knows too well, the month January, with its post-festive blues, might as well be written off the character. Just as well then, as last week it fell to XFM to kick off February, and indeed 2012, good and proper with their ‘Next Big Thing’ night down at HMV’s The Ritz, featuring their pick of ‘ones to watch’ over the coming 12 months.
Click 'Read More' for the full review of the night and to see what we thought of Willy Moon, Ren Harvieu, Spector, Dry The River and All The Young.
